When visiting an area for the first time, the arrival at what will be your home for the coming days/weeks is to me very important, that reassurance you got it right, is a great start. We arrived at Onda Verde via a taxi organised by the hotel, driven by a friendly young man who provided us with some useful information through the journey. We went to reception and the friendly face of Fernanda checked us in and we were taken to our room. The room was clean, quite spacious and when we opened the doors to the balcony, we had a lovely view over the sea, we felt we had got it right!. Breakfast was served in the dining room, there was enough variety to please all tastes, we also experienced both lunch and dinner at Franchino the hotel's restaurant, and were more than satisfied on both occasions. The staff were very accommodating through out our stay, if I had one disappointment it was the size of the swimming pool, but let us not forget, this is graded as a three star hotel, and if I really wanted to swim, there was a big expanse of water I could use not very far away!
